About the Book
DECIDE WELL
Making Better Decisions When Information Is Incomplete
Most important decisions have to be made before all the facts are available. You may need to choose a supplier, select a research method, allocate a limited budget, change a team process or decide which opportunity deserves your time. Waiting for complete certainty is rarely possible. Acting on instinct alone can leave important risks unchecked.
DECIDE WELL offers an eight-stage method for making these choices with greater care. It begins by defining the decision and separating facts from assumptions. It then helps you identify constraints, develop realistic options, compare them against clear criteria and test the assumptions that could change your choice. The final stages focus on recording the reasons for a decision and reviewing what happened.
The method gives you a practical way to organise your thinking without pretending that every decision has one obvious answer. You learn to make the evidence visible, explain the trade-offs, record what you chose and recognise when new information calls for another look.
Whether you are making a personal choice or working on a professional decision, the aim is the same: understand what must be decided, consider the available options and make a choice you can explain and review.
